As title, some c#nthead backed into my car, cracking the fibreglass front bar and cracking the paint etc.

No note from the culprit of course, but a nice lady saw it all and wrote me a note on my car containing the douche's rego plate only. Not being a car enthusiast, she couldn't tell make/model.

I have already lodged an incident with the police and they will do what they can though i don't have too much confidence in it getting anywhere but fingers crossed.

There's no point going through insurance as the excess will pretty much pay for the repair.

Any ideas?

Fecking ghey, my car has a banana bar on it too (which i love and there's only about 15 or so in the world/all in oz).

Damn that sucks man.

Quick question, what does a Banana front bar look like? Never heard of that :blink:

I know..i've had so much sh!t happen to me lately i'm surprised /wrist hasn't come across my mind yet bah, lol.

The bar is a very smooth, lightweight design with perfect fit.

This pic shows it off quite nicely

mate thats all u need, a rego number. if u are with just cars and your car gets hit while parked, it doesnt affect a thing. u dont have to pay excess, doesnt affect your rating - nothin. i done it 3 times. did u get the ladies phone number ? the insurance company may want to call her.

^^^ Agreed!

The most critical info you should have is the lady's name/addy/ph + the rego# of the offending car (ie her note).

Then the person who backed into you hasn't got a leg to stand on.

There should be more people like that lady/witness. :blink:

What everyone's saying is correct

You should be able to give your insurer the rego of the car, the details of your witness, so they can contact her, get them to do it quickly, so the details are fresh in her mind. She doesn't need to be an expert, the rego & colour of the car should be sufficient.

It won't be considered an "at fault" claim, because clearly, you weren't at fault...

And for gawd's sake, if you see someone plowing into other cars, dob the arseholes in! :blink:

I've waited around to give details to people whose cars have been hit in the past, and when my car was reversed into by a 4WD, causing $4000 in damage, I had a solicitor & 2 doctors as witnesses!

Karma FTW!

very sorry to hijack your thread mate, but i have a small question.

if you were inside your car while the engine was running yet stationary/motionless, for example waiting for the car infront to move. however the car infront decides to reverse into the front of me, causing minmal damage to the bumper/fmic/headlight.

would this be classed as the same situation you guys are talking about?

thanks.

Probably a little different, in that I believe his car was parked, and he was nowhere near it.

Did you have a witness to this/ admission from the driver? I'd imagine that without a witness, this is going to be VERY hard to prove, especially if the other party claims you drove into the back of them...

Hope it works out ok for both of you.

Thanks for the advice all! I will try my luck and see.

Yep Mavric had a contact that makes them but they're not available anymore. It was a fair few years ago..

Edit - i should state Mavric was the original supplier of the bars and they were sold in very limited numbers. I love exclusivity :blink: (oh wait, i drive an r33 ..)

iu had a lady drive in to me in a car park while i was in the car stationary, about a month ago. i literally picked it up from the spray shop 10 mins earlier, the car was finished, complete, done, then BANG

she got out and came over and promptly said "looks like were both at fault here"

i said clearly not, got her details, though she made it clear she didnt want to go through insurance, so i got necessary parts and quote for paint and she just paid to cover the cost.

feel sorry for you though bro! =\

such a shame

^^^ That's really bad luck Alec. Hope things don't occur in 3s.

Christmas time is a time of more erratic driving too peeps - it's everywhere!

er yeah its all that ham and egg nog.. this happened to me a few months back. took a while but the police got the owners details eventually who i had to play phone tag with for a while. Kept denying it even with 3 or 4 witnesses and it wasnt easy as i only had 3rd party not comprehensive but i eventually got them to make a claim when i threatened them with civil action.

Hope you either have compre or a more co-operative offender..

good luck!

Had exactly this happen to me a few months back.

Gotta make sure the person admits to reversing into you (get them to sign a paper saying so in the meantime) and then fills out a cop form to say so. (i did this so there wasnt any issue and it went thru iunsurance without a hitch)

If they dont its very easy for them to jump around n say you drove into the back of them and they will ping you for the costs...

Good luck

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
